coaches in the n.f.l. the minority coaches fired were the cleveland browns hue jackson the new york jets todd bowles vance joseph of the denver broncos the arizona cardinals steve wilkes and the long time coach of the cincinnati bengals marvin lewis and in deliberate what do you know number one goal is not to be world champions and we did not get that. opening day of that and a fall season for your arizona cardinals in two thousand and two under the threat of lawsuits that would have accused league owners of racial discrimination the n.f.l. adopted a rule that at least one minority candidate had to be interviewed for each head coaching vacancy despite the rule the number of nonwhite head coaches continues to lag behind prompting criticism from commentators like dallas sportscaster dale hansen getting fired at one place and getting another chance isn't the problem but

young talented coaches have cover not getting the chance that's a huge problem the author of a statistical study of all coaching positions in the n.f.l. says the real problem is not overt discrimination at the very top of the coaching ladder but a conspicuous lack of opportunities for blacks in lower level coaching positions that can lead eventually to the head coach's office. there's a huge racial disparity in promotion rates from. coaches and the promotion to corner and in particular promotions the office of cornet or so on we're talking about head coaches we're missing the big picture here hundreds of black athletes putting their bodies on the line every sunday thank you but a tiny handful of black coaches and general managers something about that score doesn't add up rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles. and that's all

president elect and he should be sworn in on january eighteenth are you saying police have been dispersing supporters there is there a concern about broader continuing on rest or even violence until this is all result. yes that is a huge concern in this country it's no stranger to violence especially when people protest in the past you seem an opposition supporters go on the street because than happy about something or another of the police being deployed riot police some of them well some of them used live ammunition and some people have been shot and killed over the years especially in twenty sixteen we had really bad proteins made out of hand so there's a concern that things could really get bad if people go on the streets one of them told to stay calm but you know i told the supporters to stay calm but the fear is that if he's not happy with the outcome of the court really incite people to take to the streets if that happens we could be violent protests in kinshasa and altoona across the country especially in his stronghold for right now i think most people

are just waiting to see what plays out in court and how independent are the judges going to be. thank you harry. well south africa's ruling party is beginning its campaign for the general election in may the african national congress is unveiling its manifesto and the election will be the first for president through run a poser since he replaced jacob zuma he was ousted while facing various corruption scandals a year ago for me to miller reports from. these community members saying outside a courtroom lousy in the city of durban there seeking justice appearing in court an african national congress councillor accused of killing another councilor from the party it's been three months and spew michael moore was shot and killed. his family says he was targeted because of factional infighting within the party we can sort of the truth is we live in fear because we don't know what's happening we can see

now that there are two factions in the organisation. the government says forty councilors have been killed in the past seven years mainly because of power struggles and greed of a government contracts so that ricans are due at the polls in the coming months to vote for provincial representatives as well as a new president president it's all is important for political parties the province has the second highest number of voters but it's also where the ruling a.n.c. which is riddled by disunity faces one of its biggest challenges president jacob zuma resigned last year after a long running corruption scandal and was replaced by civil rights. but zuma despite the allegations continues to enjoy significant support in his home of course a little adding to concerns of a split within the party the a.n.c. leadership had a message of unity touring the party's one hundred seventh birthday celebrations this week. we have this is here with the with all of this is the

name of the soviet yes please give me that. if this is. from a person his first general election as president of the a.n.c. he's trying to solidify his position in the party we supposed to appear to be split between him and his predecessor jacob zuma so that some of the biggest regions of the a.n.c. across the country. so it's very important to understand that if your kid and his we divide it has a possibility to divide the nation or to cause massive rifts within the city and of course this is the base will. cause an atoll is form a stronghold of opposition the in car to freedom party there are concerns that a lack of unity within the a.n.c. allegations of corruption and poor delivery of services could see the party lose

some of its support to its rival. for me to mete out. the new york times is reporting the f.b.i. opened an inquiry in may twenty seventeen to find out a president donald trump was secretly working on behalf of russia against u.s. interests it was triggered by trump's actions over the firing of former f.b.i. director james comey counterintelligence investigators were assigned to evaluate whether trump was a potential threat to national security the f.b.i. also sought to determine whether the president was deliberately working for russia or had unintentionally been influenced by moscow let's go live now to roslyn jordan in washington d.c. rose break this down for us these reports are than investigation that preceded the miller inquiry into president from himself. actually the investigation wasn't so much focused on the president the investigation was specifically focused on russian efforts to influence the two thousand and sixteen

election and then to see whether there were any americans any persons connected to the trial campaign who might have been assisting the russian investigation and this is an important distinction because up until now the public perception has been that the government was focused on the president's actions before he became president and after he became president what this new report from the ork times is saying is that they had been a long running suspicion of what the russian government under president vladimir putin wanted to do over is trying to achieve in the united states political process there were suspicions as early as middle of twenty sixteen according to this report about the president's own behavior about the president's own connections but the f.b.i. was incredibly aware of the political sensitivity of trying to open an investigation

that could that could have been leaked to the public because then the f.b.i. would have been accused of trying to interfere in the twenty sixteen election so there was this delay but once james comey the f.b.i. director was fired by the president and because of the president's statements about why he fired james comey that is when the f.b.i. proceeded to expand their investigation of russian influence in the u.s. political process to include the president's behavior before and while he has been serving as president since a very subtle but it's a very important distinction and it could be suggested in a style that this report is coming out as there are many suggestions that robert mueller the special counsel investigating russian involvement in the u.s. political process may be getting close to filing his final report with the attorney general or the acting attorney general in this case and with members of congress

and also what kind of reaction if we've seen say fata these reports in washington. well certainly the president's personal lawyer rudolph giuliani has condemned the reporting has dismissed the reporting in a comment to the new york times i have not as yet been able to find anything specifically from white house spokespersons or even from the president himself there hasn't been any activity on their social media accounts in the last ten twelve hours but as the morning goes on here in washington we may yet hear some sort of response from them to this story it's a very very compelling story it's a damning story in a number of respects but it does give the public some window into how the intelligence community in this case the f.b.i. looks. at situations and tries to figure out whether there is something illegal going on out as there is rotten in jordan and washington d.c.

thank you runs well the twenty two day shutdown of the u.s. government is now the longest in history with no end in sight and eight hundred thousand federal employees missing their pay their paychecks donald trump's edging democrats to give up their weekend and vote for his five billion dollars short of war with mexico he's backed away from his threat to declare a national emergency over the control of the city. i'd rather not do it because this is something that congress should easily to this is something that the democrats should do and i don't want to give an easy way out of something as simple as this not only simple it's easy and it's going to secure our you know we have a country that is under siege you could actually get a lot of people don't like the word invasion we have a country that's being invaded by criminals and by drugs and we're going to stop it

so i want the democrats to come back to washington and vote. from washington d.c. . reports indicate that some of jonell trump's closest advisers including his son in law jared questioner have been cautioning him against declaring a national emergency to get funding for the border wall it is seen as possibly setting a bad precedent and critics say a step toward authoritarianism if he were to issue that declaration also if he does it there's still no real understanding of where the money would come from trump wants five point seven billion dollars to construct the border wall between the u.s. and mexico and right now reporting indicates that that money may come for.
